Video cameras record an off-season visit to a water park's wave pool, soon to be demolished to make way for a new road.
During my initial survey of the park, sold to Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in 2006, I encountered a lone wriggling earthworm nearing the edge of a body of rainwater collected in the pool's deep end. I continued exploring the park knowing I would return to wish the worm farewell. Upon my return, however,
the worm was no longer alive, having nearly reached the edge of an ocean of
rainwater collected in the deep end of a barren concrete field. Despite having
no eyes, ears, spine, or lungs, earthworms undertake a continual act of burial,
resurfacing to repair the ground beneath our feet.
